From ocean to source every mile of the Connecticut is crowded with reminders of the early explorers, of the Indian wars, of the struggle of the Colonies, and of the quaint, peaceful village existence of the early days of the Republic. Beginning with the Dutch discovery, Mr. Bacon traces the interesting movements and events which are associated with this chief river of New England. The Columbia River _Its History--Its Myths--Its Scenery--Its Commerce_ By William Denison Lyman Professor of History in Whitman College, Walla Walla, Washington _Fully Illustrated. Probable price, $3.50 net_ This is the first effort to present a book distinctively on the Columbia River. It is the intention of the author to give some special prominence to Nelson and the magnificent lake district by which it is surrounded. As the joint possession of the United States and British Columbia, and as the grandest scenic river of the continent, the Columbia is worthy of special attention. _In Preparation_: _Each will be fully illustrated and will probably be published at $3.50 net_ 1.--Inland Waterways By Herbert Quick 2.--The Mississippi River By Julius Chambers 3.--The Story of the Chesapeake By Ruthella Mory Bibbins 4.--Lake George and Lake Champlain By W.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained. Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained. Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Page 190: “irreconciliable” probably is a misprint for “irreconcilable”. Page 226: Index entry for “Ship-builders” referenced page v, but the term was split across pages vi-vii, and is shown here as being on page vi.
